Yunlu City, Ningli County, Yun Province.

In the cold winter, the noise and shouting outside are not stopped, and the sound of suona is sonorous and powerful through the wall, and you know that there is a happy event next door when you hear it.

In front of the stove sat a thin girl, drowsy, and a stocky old woman in a thick jacket walked towards the kitchen with great strides.

Seeing that the girl was lazy, the old woman spat and sprayed all the stars in the air.

"You debt collector, you can't boil water well, sleep like a dead pig from morning to night, let your money-losing mother throw you into the river and drown her, I knew that I should have strangled you to death when I was born......"

When Xie Pujia was conscious again, her ears were pulled vigorously and she woke up directly.

In the eyes was an old woman with a hideous face, who was spitting at her, and felt that her ears were about to be torn, Xie Pujia opened her mouth directly at the old woman's arm and took a big mouthful.

"Ahh The old woman subconsciously screamed when she was bitten, but found that she was wearing a thick cotton jacket, and the bite was painless, so she was annoyed, and turned her hand to Xie Pujia's little face and slapped it, and with full strength, Xie Pujia's eyes were full of stars.

"You little slut, you dare to bite me, see if I don't kill you!"

The movement of the two attracted the attention of outsiders.

"Jiajia!"

As soon as Zhou Chunyan entered the door, she saw her poor daughter being beaten by her mother-in-law Wang Meihua by the collar, and a bright red slap mark on her miserable little face, she stepped forward and tore Wang Meihua's hand away, and hugged her daughter into her arms.

Wang Meihua saw Zhou Chunyan coming in, and her momentum became even stronger.

"I'm a debt collector, and you dare to fight back with me, your skin is itchy, right?"

I still want to do it.

"the sea! Come grab the red eggs! And cigarettes! ”

Wang Meihua's hand was halfway raised, and when she heard someone outside shouting that she had something to rob, she didn't have time to teach her mother and son, so she hurried to the neighbor's house, for fear that she wouldn't be able to grab something, and left a threat before leaving.

"Cook the meal before I come back, or I'll skin you two!"

When the footsteps were far away, Zhou Chunyan's hand holding her daughter gradually let go.

"Jiajia, let Mom see, where does it hurt?"

Hearing the familiar and unfamiliar voice, smelling the soaphorn smell on the tip of her nose that belonged to her mother in her memory, Xie Pujia couldn't control it anymore and cried.

"Mom...... Woowoo...... I miss you so much...... Woo......"

She hadn't seen her mother for six years, and since her mother died in childbirth when she was 12 years old, Xie Pujia has lost the person who loves her the most in the world.

As her father quickly remarried and gave birth to a younger brother with her stepmother, when the whole family revolved around her younger brother, Xie Pujia knew that she had no home anymore.

Under the age of eighteen, he was swept out of the house by his own grandmother, and he finished high school with the help of his kind neighbor Grandma Dong, but he was hit by a runaway car on the way to get the university admission letter and died on the spot.

Zhou Chunyan comforted her crying and breathless daughter, and gently patted her daughter's back with her hand, trying to calm her breath for her.

"Jia Jia is not sad, Jia Jia is my mother's favorite baby, we will be the eldest child in junior high school in the second half of next year, we don't care about grandma, she has not read a book and has a poisonous mouth......"

Another burst of subdued suona sounded, interrupting Xie Pujia's sad thoughts, and she suddenly raised her head from her mother's arms.

Junior high school in the second half of next year?!

Judging by the clothes on my mother's body and the cold air around her, it is winter, so the timeline is the winter vacation of the sixth grade.

Xie Pujia clearly remembers this disgusting winter vacation.

Her mother asked her to go out and call her father home for dinner, she was attracted by the excitement of marrying the bride next door, and slipped from the back of her house to the back door next door to see what the bride looked like, but not only saw the bride Wu Xue, but also saw her own father.

At that time, I was simple, and I didn't understand what a lonely man and a widow could do in the house.

When she went out and met Wang Meihua, who had just come back from Dong's house, Xie Pujia told Wang Meihua directly, who knew that after finishing speaking, Wang Meihua first gritted her teeth, and then grabbed her granddaughter Xie Pujia's braids and threatened her.

She said that if she found out that Xie Pujia had told her about it, she would throw Xie Pujia into the river and choke to death.

Where did the timid Xie Pujia dare to say it everywhere, every time she thought of it, she couldn't help but think of herself choking in the river.

When I grew up, my mother was gone, and I was kicked out of the house, and there was no one to talk about it.

Now that Xie Pujia has gone through the ups and downs of the world, has the mind of an adult, and her mother is alive, she doesn't want to let go of the dog man and woman.

"Mom, is it Uncle Dong's daughter-in-law outside, I heard the sound of the flute."

Zhou Chunyan touched her daughter's face lovingly, the redness and swelling on it had not subsided, and she nodded and said: "It's your Uncle Dong who marries his daughter-in-law, your grandmother is going to grab red eggs, Grandma Dong said that she left a few for our mothers and sons, and I will bring them back for you to eat when the banquet is dispersed later, don't tell your grandmother." ”

He made a "shhh

Xie Pujia pouted, the neighbor's grandmother knew that she had left something for herself and her mother to eat at the wedding banquet, but her own grandmother was vicious and selfish.

It's a pity that what she wants to do will embarrass Grandma Dong's family, but there is no way, for the sake of her mother and herself, and for Grandma Dong's family to see the true face of marrying a daughter-in-law, she has to do it.

"Mom, Grandma Dong told me yesterday that I should go to her without telling my milk when I have red eggs in the afternoon, and I will go later."

Zhou Chunyan did not have the slightest doubt about her daughter's words, her daughter would be beaten and scolded by Wang Meihua at every turn when she stayed at home, and over time she preferred to go to her neighbor Grandma Dong's house.

Zhou Chunyan originally wanted to accompany her daughter, but remembered that she still had a large basin of clothes to be washed by the river, so she combed her daughter's slightly messy forehead with her fingers, "Go, say something festive to Grandma Dong, be careful, don't be seen by your grandmother." ”

"Good!"

When Zhou Chunyan went out, Xie Pujia immediately ran to the back door of her house, lifted a small bench and looked at the gap between the courtyard door and the Dong family's wedding room, and sure enough, she saw that the doors and windows of the wedding room were closed, and there was no movement.

This is not at all what a wedding room should look like.

The wedding banquet in Ningli County is generally held from noon, the bride follows her husband out to toast, the people who eat the banquet will eat from noon to evening, and at night it will be dark before a bunch of people hug the groom to go to the cave room, during the afternoon, the bride will stay in the new house with a few bridesmaids or the mother's family to chat and talk about homely things.

Xie Pujia reasonably guessed that Wu Xue drove the people who accompanied her away, otherwise the doors and windows would not all be closed.

Suddenly, there was a faint sound of a man's laughter in the quiet marriage room, and a shrill female voice was heard muttering two words, and after a while, the man's voice was much quieter.

It's not close, but this man's voice, Xie Pujia can hear, it is her shameless drunken waste father.

cheating on someone's wedding day, it's really a wild mandarin duck who is open-minded, and if he doesn't fulfill them, I'm sorry for the chance God gave me to do it again!

Xie Pujia jumped down from the bench, ran to the kitchen firewood pile to carry a bundle of firewood, then took a few pieces of charcoal burning from the stove with tongs and put them in a drying water scoop, stuffed the two pockets of her jacket full of pot ashes, and did everything and returned to the back door of her house with her little short legs.

They belong to the remote land of Ningli County by the villages and towns, and every household is self-built, and the back door of the Xie family and the Dong family is only separated by an iron door.

Xie Pujia moved one more bench, and after building the two benches, she stood firmly on it, threw the firewood in her hand at the maximum angle to the Dong family's wedding room, and after the firewood landed, she threw the charcoal fire in the dry ladle over, and threw many of them, until she saw a small flame burning.

She neatly kicked the wooden bench away, wiped her red and swollen face directly with her charcoal ash hand, and then tore off her braids after wiping, and put some dirty dust on her clothes.

While running, he shouted at the top of his voice: "Oh no, no, no, the back door of my house is on fire!" ”

The Dong family also built its own house, which was built little by little when Grandpa Dong was alive, but it was smaller than the Xie family's house.

At this time, at the gate of the Dong family, a few men eating at the banquet were drinking soju, and they were in high spirits, and when they heard the little girl with a gray face talking about fire, they immediately stood up.

The groom's official Dong Feng looked at the little girl with a muddy face, and saw at a glance that this was his neighbor, thinking that the back door of his house was next to the back door of the little girl's house, and he hurriedly stood up.

"Xiaojia, are you sure it's the back door? Your new aunt is still sitting in the wedding room! ”

The wedding room arranged by the Dong family is close to the back door, and if the back door catches fire, the wedding room is very likely to suffer.

The women picked up wet towels and rushed to the backyard to inquire about the situation, while the men went around to fetch water, and then rushed to the back door with buckets.

When the women arrived at the back door, they saw that the burning place was right next to the wedding room, and they shouted and urged the men to hurry up and fetch water.

Xie Pujia's small body was squeezed by the crowd and walked towards the back door of Dong's house, her eyes staring at the door of the wedding room.

The bigger the battle, the more lively the venue will be.
